For a healthy start, begin squash seeds indoors no more than 3-4 weeks before your last frost date. Squash plants are sensitive to becoming root-bound, which can lead to transplanting stress, so avoid starting them too early.
Plant seeds 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep, covering lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, typically in 5-10 days, although it may take longer in cooler soil.
When transplanting outdoors, space plants 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) apart for bush varieties, and allow 4-5 feet (120-150 cm) between plants for vining types. This spacing ensures proper airflow and room for growth, leading to a bountiful squash harvest.
